I’m not knocking GGPO. I’m not saying GGPO isn’t as close to perfect as it can get.
I’m just saying, it isn’t perfect. And even if it WAS perfect, I still wouldn’t be able to shake the person’s hand, or snub them when I’m feeling salty, or hang with them after we game, or grab a bite to eat while discussing matchups, and all the other things that playing online entails.
My scene is microscopic compared to most - the amount of people who play Vampire Savior in my community can be counted with your fingers. It’s still better than GGPO to me, so I’ll always go for that.
If playing online is your thing, then neglecting GGPO is like deep-sea diving without an oxygen tank. It’s just… playing online ain’t my thing, even when it’s perfect.
I used to play a lot, but nowadays I always desync from matches. I tried looking up answers and to make sure I configured everything right but i kept desyncing with no solution. So…thats my reason. If anyone can fix it, i would be on more.
And your point is? That shits true, oh boohoo some scrub is mad he’s losing 0-20 to people who know how the play the game when he’s just starting. That’s on him if he/she expected to be hotshit at the start and doesn’t use resources that are wildly available to get better
And? The people bitching here are lazy as fuck, it takes not that much time to setup GGPO or ask a question if something is wrong. It takes seconds to look up a guide for a game or ask experienced players questions. Yes practicing and getting better takes time but fuck what do people expect? Seriously I’ve said it multiple times in the Marvel thread and I’m gonna say it again; people nowadays are lazy as fuck and want shit handed to them. My ass gets scraped by Spark, Huey253, Kaigu, and the rest of the PNW BB scene but I’m not gonna bitch it’s to hard to not go 0-20 I’m gonna put the work in to get better.
I’d say you got roms that are too new or too old as the mame dev team likes to redump them every time they start reworking on the emulation of a board.
Edit: you could of messed with the sound settings. which can cause desyncs in some weird ways
I always use to be on ggpo, like back in 07 or whatever. The super turbo and A2 rooms were the best, and they were always full. I didn’t like 3rd Strike on ggpo because I would seem to get terrible connections a lot, and it always seemed that 2df was better at least for that game. With all the new games out or coming out I just don’t feel any urge to redownload everything. Some of the rooms like XvSF were surprisingly empty at most times when I was on, and stuff like MSH had tumbleweeds blowing through them. Fighting games (in general) from a little while back were on the short end of stick, and we didn’t have shit like we do now.
I don’t get this thread anymore. Are people mad cuz everyone who wants a new Vampire doesn’t play Savior on GGPO? If 3000+ people want a new game in a series they wont touch for whatever reason, on GGPO, you can’t get mad at them. Chill out, you def aint finna get folks to hop on GGPO outta guilt after dissin’em. Would be noobs is just gonna think that the community is filled with a bunch of veteran pricks who demand absolute dedication. I don’t see how cats on SRK is mad at each other, but aint mad at Capcom for doing a terrible job with the series in the 1st place.
Let’s face facts here, Ono aint checking on or even organizing tournaments for Savior. No Capcom rep even stopped by to check on the lil side tourney at EVO. When Ono wants to know where the support for the series is at, he asks ma’fuckaz to hold up dollaz. If 3000+ is willing to pay for another game, doesn’t matter if they wanna play the old ones or not, they willing to lay down that cash for a new game in the series. You gotta respect that.
People have always given each other shit for “maining” a differing game. Marvel games were stupid dial-a-combo, SF3 was dumb, CvS2 was slow, Alpha 3 was insane, less popular games didn’t matter, etc. It’s weird that people are even getting bent out of shape about it.
People need to calm down and just play games. If you can not find people to play your favorite games don’t worry I’ll play you (when my connection is not shit :lovin: ).
maybe because 95% of SRK joined at or after Feb 2009?
Seriously, I think its 1. because they arent the Capcom current big 2, and 2. most of the older games take work to be good at, there is no going on youtube and learning a touch of death, and being gdlk. even with all the 100% combos in old games most of them are way harder to do than mvc3 assist otg loops to death.
